Dunkin’ Iced Coffee With Prices, Calories & Caffeine (2026)
Prices by size, real calories and caffeine, every swirl and flavor shot, plus the best iced coffee orders to try.
A Dunkin’ iced coffee is freshly brewed hot coffee that is cooled and poured over ice. It’s Dunkin’s signature cold drink and, by volume, its best-selling beverage. This guide covers Dunkin’ iced coffee prices by size, real calories and caffeine, every flavor swirl and flavor shot, how it is made, and the best orders to try. A medium is the go-to at roughly $3.29, with about 198 mg of caffeine and only ~15 calories when you take it black. Prices are US national averages and vary by location because Dunkin’ is franchised.
Quick answer
A plain medium Dunkin’ iced coffee runs about $3.29 (Small ~$2.99, Large ~$3.69). Black, it is only ~15 calories with roughly 198 mg of caffeine; add cream, milk or a flavor swirl and both climb. A flavor swirl adds about $0.60–$1.50.
Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Prices & Sizes (S/M/L)
Dunkin’ iced coffee comes in three sizes: Small (16 oz), Medium (24 oz) and Large (32 oz). It’s one of the more affordable cold drinks on the Dunkin’ menu. Iced cups run larger than hot ones because a big scoop of ice takes up room, so you still get a generous pour of coffee. A plain medium is the sweet spot for most people. The table below shows current national-average pricing for a standard, unflavored iced coffee.
| Size | Approx. ounces | Price (plain) |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 16 oz | $2.99 |
| Medium | 24 oz | $3.29 |
| Large | 32 oz | $3.69 |
Flavor swirls (French Vanilla, Caramel, Hazelnut, Mocha and more) typically add about $0.60–$1.50; an extra espresso shot runs around $0.99–$1.50; and premium non-dairy options like oat milk usually add roughly $0.50–$0.70. Iced coffee is priced a little above a hot coffee of the same size and well below an iced latte or cold brew, which makes it the value pick of the cold-coffee lineup. Prices vary by location because Dunkin’ is franchise-priced, so treat these as realistic averages rather than exact figures. We re-check them monthly.
Iced Coffee Calories & Caffeine by Size
Taken black, Dunkin’ iced coffee is one of the lightest ways to caffeinate: a medium is only about 15 calories with essentially no sugar. Caffeine, on the other hand, is substantial and scales with size. A medium delivers roughly 198 mg of caffeine, more than a typical home-brewed cup, while a large climbs toward 300 mg.
| Size | Caffeine (approx.) | Calories (black) |
|---|---|---|
| Small (16 oz) | ~150 mg | ~10 cal |
| Medium (24 oz) | ~198 mg | ~15 cal |
| Large (32 oz) | ~297 mg | ~20 cal |
These figures are approximate and reflect a black iced coffee; the exact caffeine depends on the brew and the store. Milk, cream and especially a sweetened swirl add calories quickly. A medium with cream and a French vanilla swirl can run about 250–290 calories and 30 g or more of sugar. To model your exact build, use our Dunkin’ calorie calculator.
Iced Coffee Flavors, Swirls & Flavor Shots
Flavor is where Dunkin’ iced coffee gets fun. You can add flavor two ways, as a sweetened swirl or an unsweetened flavor shot, across a lineup of classic profiles:
- French Vanilla: smooth, mellow and sweet; the most-ordered flavor and the safest crowd-pleaser.
- Caramel: buttery and dessert-like; the caramel swirl is a top seller and pairs well with a splash of cream.
- Hazelnut: nutty and toasty; available as both a sweet swirl and an unsweetened shot.
- Mocha: chocolate-forward; a mocha swirl turns a plain iced coffee into a lighter, mocha-style treat.
- Butter Pecan: warm and nutty; a fan favorite that rotates seasonally at many stores.
- Toasted Almond: lightly sweet and marzipan-like for something different.
Swirl vs flavor shot: the key difference
A swirl is a sweetened, creamy flavored syrup: it adds richness plus sugar and calories. A flavor shot is unsweetened and essentially calorie-free. Ordering a shot instead of a swirl is the simplest way to keep your iced coffee low in calories while still getting the aroma and taste you want.
Seasonal flavors rotate through the year too, like pumpkin and peppermint mocha swirls in fall and winter, but the six above are the reliable, year-round core.
What’s In a Dunkin’ Iced Coffee & How It’s Made
A Dunkin’ iced coffee starts as regular hot coffee. Baristas brew Dunkin’s Original Blend hot, then cool it and pour it over a full cup of ice. That hot-brew-then-chill method is what gives iced coffee its clean, bright, slightly bolder taste compared with a drink steeped cold. In its simplest form, the ingredients are just coffee, water and ice.
From there it is built to order. You choose your dairy (whole milk, skim, cream, or non-dairy oat milk and almond milk), plus any sweetener and a flavor swirl or shot. Order it black and you keep it near-zero calories; load it up and it drinks more like a dessert. Because it is brewed hot first, iced coffee tastes more like classic diner coffee than the smoother, lower-acid cold brew does.
Best Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Order & Customizations
After plenty of drive-thru research, these are the Dunkin’ iced coffee orders worth knowing, from the crowd-pleasers to the low-calorie play:
1 Caramel swirl iced coffee with cream
The crowd-pleaser. The caramel swirl brings buttery sweetness and the cream rounds it out, dessert-adjacent without ordering a full iced latte. A medium lands around $3.89–$4.79 with the swirl.
2 French vanilla swirl with oat milk
Our everyday order. French vanilla keeps it smooth and mellow, and oat milk adds a creamy, slightly sweet body that suits iced coffee far better than skim. Dairy-free and drinkable all day.
3 Black iced coffee with a French vanilla flavor shot
The low-calorie play. An unsweetened flavor shot gives you the vanilla aroma for essentially zero added calories, keeping a medium near 15 calories. Best pick if you are watching sugar.
4 Mocha swirl iced coffee with an extra espresso shot
For a bigger hit. The mocha swirl adds chocolate while the extra shot of espresso pushes the caffeine and nudges it toward an iced mocha latte, great in the mid-afternoon.
5 Butter pecan swirl with cream
Cozy and nutty. When butter pecan is in rotation it is the standout seasonal swirl; with cream it drinks like a lighter iced dessert.
Two quick customization tips: ask for light ice if you want more coffee per cup, and swap a sweetened swirl for an unsweetened flavor shot to cut sugar without losing the flavor. Both are free swaps at most stores.
Iced Coffee vs Cold Brew vs Iced Latte
Dunkin’s cold-coffee lineup can blur together. Here is how iced coffee compares with its two closest siblings on method, caffeine and price:
| Drink | How it’s made | Caffeine (M) | Price (M) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iced Coffee | Hot-brewed, then cooled over ice | ~198 mg | $3.29 |
| Cold Brew | Steeped in cold water 12+ hours | ~260 mg | $4.19 |
| Iced Latte | Espresso pulled over cold milk | ~166 mg | $4.79 |
Choose iced coffee for the everyday, budget-friendly cup with a classic coffee taste. Go for cold brew when you want a smoother, less acidic, higher-caffeine drink that is steeped cold for 12+ hours. Pick an iced latte when you want espresso and cold milk for a creamier, more mellow drink, or an iced matcha latte if you would rather skip coffee altogether. All of them live on the Dunkin’ coffee menu.
How to Order a Dunkin’ Iced Coffee (App & Drive-Thru)
You can order a Dunkin’ iced coffee at the counter, at the drive-thru, or ahead for pickup on the Dunkin’ app. Ordering in the app is usually the smartest move: you earn Dunkin’ Rewards points on every order, unlock app-only offers, and can fully customize your swirl, milk and ice before you ever reach the window. At the drive-thru, keep it simple: state your size, say “iced coffee,” then your milk and flavor.
